Let's talk weather here at
meteorologist Maria Ruiz.
And Mara had mentioned, you kno,
walking the dogs early morning,
late at night.
My mom is here for a couple
months watching the baby,
and she tries to get out early ,
you know, do that stroller dog.
But honestly, by like 7-8 in the morning,
it's already like 85 degrees. Y,
it's already really hot.
The problem is clear is that we're not
actually cooling off too much overnight.
We're only dropping into the low 80s which is
warm even for July or now August standards.
So definitely make sure to take
care of yourselves. You know,
I I was out and about over the weekend and I
was out early and I still didn't feel well.
No, it's not that cool in the morning.
Yeah. So definitely make
sure to listen to your body.
I mean even things like walking
to the car can feel, can feel a
little gross if you're not you ,
hydrating before, during, after.
Take all those precautions
and take them seriously.
And and This is why we do have a heat warning
and it comes as an excessive heat warning.
And this is until 8:00.
We'll likely see this
extend for a few more days,
because we're still expecting
those triple digits today.
Specifically though the temperae
in the heat index could be
anywhere between 1:05 to 1:12.
The forecast high temperature 107 for Dallas
and in Fort Worth this is considered record.
The record was set in 2011.
High temperatures in the triple digits
area wide including our western counties
and our eastern counties that do hold on
to a little bit more of that humidity.
The heat index still expected to be elevated.
We talked about this the red flg
warning this is for high fire danger.
It does include Tarrant Denton
County to the West.
This is for hot and dry conditi.
The low humidity, the breezy weather,
Any fires that start part in
this area will spread quickly.
Unfortunately,
it's just the right conditions r
that avoid any outdoor burning.
And just a few tips for you her,
any county that you see highligd
currently has a burn ban.
Make sure to check with your coy
though because this can change.
You can help prevent these wildfires.
Don't toss,
Let cigarettes on the ground.
Don't drag tow chains on the grd
because that can start a spark.
Don't park or drive over tall
grass because that warm engine
could be enough to start a spar.
And of course respect those were
in advance that I just showed y.
If you do have to be out,
also keep in mind that our air
quality is just not great.
We have an Ozone Action Day,
higher levels of pollution.
It has to do with a lot of
pollution in the air and to stat
air not moving around too much,
we have unhealthy air quality.
That means sensitive groups,
meaning people with respiratory issues
should absolutely limit time oue
and a few of the surrounding locations
also reporting moderate air qua,
which is one step below good air quality.
Let me take you to love
field right now 95 degrees,
the heat index though 102,
so it feels like the triple dig.
I am expecting the triple
digits to be here the
remainder of the week
and through the weekend.
The record that I think is in jeopardy
is actually today with the high of 107,
the record set in 2011.
We could tie that the rest of the week.
I don't think we'll see record ,
but of course dangerous heat does continue.
That Ridge of high pressure sitg
right over the state and just oe
outskirts of that is where you can see
a lot of the activity in terms of not
just cloud cover but also thunderstorms.
That Ridge of high pressure that brings
us that intense heat and limits any rain
chances actually going to move to the
West as we approach late this weekend,
early next week.
And when that happens we get a
small chance for rain and welcod
at that we are also going to see
a little bit of cloud cover as a
result this sometime between Tuesday,
Wednesday.
This helps keep our temperatures
below that triple digit mark.
It doesn't look like a lot of rain right now.
I'm thinking about a trace maybe some
pockets closer to of the 10th of an inch.
And we're also looking at the
tropics still in tropical seaso.
2 areas of interest not expected
to impact land.
Right here is a look at that 10
day triple digits the rest of
the week and through the weeken.
Morning lows in the 80s.
So like I'm saying even in the
morning it's still warm,
but it's the coolest time of
the day to be out.
Even if you are going to
be out in the morning.
Again, hydrate before during, a.
Don't forget that.
Cleo.
Yeah, great advice. Please do nt
forget that looking at that 10
day forecast Wolf in sports thi.
